I have VSS2005 installed on one of the machines in my office.
If I take a PDF file that is working fine and check it in to source safe and
then get latest version on another machine or delete it locally and grab it
again from source safe the file becomes corrupt.
When I look at the same file after putting it in to source safe as compared
to the original the file that was in source safe is:93,558 bytes and the one
that was not in source safe is 92,986 bytes.
I placed the files on the web at http://www.isoa.org/SS.Zip if it will help
to make sese of this

Hi Sagi,

Thank you for your PDF files and I can reproduce it on my machine.

Based on my research, the file corrupts because VSS treats it as a text
file. You can use the following steps to resolve it when adding PDF files.

1. Click Add file button to add a file.
2. Select PDF file from the dialog box
3. In the Add file dialog box, click Advanced button.
4. Set File Type to Binary in the combobox.

This will prevent the PDF file from being corrupted.

HTH.

Hi, I have the same problem.
I reply the steps that you wrote, but still it doesn't work.
I compare the files and they have different size.

What can I do?
